No Harry Potter costume is complete without a wand! But official Harry Potter wands can be expensive, this is a quick and easy way to make your own wand that will complete your costume.

Using the hot glue gun, place glue around the thick end of the chopstick

Working quickly before the glue cools, wrap wool tightly around the area where you have placed the glue.
Then use the wool to make the design of your choice.
I also covered the outside of the wool with a thin layer of glue to make sure that it stays in place.
Paint

Using the colour of your choice, paint the chopstick, making sure to cover the colour of the wool completely.
